My Dear intellects of Railway Establishment,

May Please Explore and Share your Conscious or awareness on the below sought querries which is Contemporary burning problem in many Offices.

As every body Knows , there are 04 different cadre Posts are functioning in Ministerial Cadres in all Departments of Railways as per 7th CPC. those are,.

1. Jr.Clerk-Level-4       2.Sr.Clerk-5         3.Office Superintendent-Level-6       4.Ch.Office Superintendent-Level-7

Above posts are Different separate cadres , Scales of pay, responsibilities are also different; provided privileges are also different.....

But some of the Officers are  Discriminately Posting Vice Versa in place of all above categories casually without adhering the hierarchy principle . And giving clarifications that All Designations and Posts are parallel and Identical. But providing the wages and Pay are as per the their Grade and Post. Even One employee needs to Promote to his next cadre post . so many selection procedures are in vogue, training programes also should qualify. Even for Officiating promotion also it is required to post Immediate senior most is required to post....

Please share your views on the above disorder....is acceptable or to rejectable???

सर मै कोर इलाहाबाद मे कार्यरत हु। मेरा adhoc सीनियर क्लर्क मे वेतन 44500 चल रहा था । वाद मे division के द्वारा मुझे कार्यालय अधीक्षक 4200 मे प्रमोशन दे दिया गया और रेल विधुतिकरण द्वारा मुझे कन्फ़र्म कर दिया गया लेकिन मेरा पे 37600 पर फिक्स कर दिया गया और मुझे पे protection का लाभ नहीं दिया गया। जो की गलत है। इस संबंध मे रेल्वे बोर्ड का कोई पत्र या सर्क्युलर है जिससे मुझे pay protection  दिया जा सके । क्योकि अभी भी मै  कोर/इलाहाबाद मे ही कार्य कर रहा हु। मेरा बेसिक तो  division जाने पर कम होगा ।  अगर कोई सर्क्युलर हो तो सर प्लीज  मुझे बताया जाय ।
